Thank you, I did mill them. I have a small CNC machine and have made a few bits. I left the pocket not fully milled out on the left bracket so I can eventually drill it out for the choke. However I may end up with carbs with the choke down on the body of the carbs so may end up milling out the pocket fully.
Oddjob:
Your fork stanchions look uneven, one of the top nuts is sitting slightly lower in the top yoke than the other, might not make a great deal of difference but worth fixing IMO as it costs nothing.
Could be an optical illusion though.

Hawkeye Ken strikes again,
yep the right one looks as thought it's clamped on lower so the top nut is sitting higher - could be camera angle.

No kidding! It’s all just hand tight in the photos. the top clamp is <1mm askew left to right in the photo, but the lowers are tightened still so same fork length left and right. I want to swap the black pinch bolts for bright hardware so left it all loose for now.
Skoti:
Headlight assembly should be rubber mounted just like the original F2 was.
Rubber or soft plastic sleeve between your headlight bracket clamps and fork legs may suffice.
If not you may have problems with blown headlight bulbs.
I found this out by doing the same as you've done, mounting the brackets directly to the fork legs.
Your project looks good, please keep posting photos.
Good luck
Skoti
